If you're so unhappy in the US, why are you here? Why not move back to wherever you're happier that has culture when you think the US has no culture?

my wife likes money. she said 2 more years and then we are out to retire. I have been begging my wife to move for the last 11 years since my kid has been born as I consider the worst thing I ever did as a father was to subject her childhood to this environment. she is old enough now and has traveled all over the world that now she is doing more begging than I am. america is perfect place to make a boatload of money if you put in hard hard work but all else is really bad and we make excuses because money is sooooo great

Was iOS Safari, not sure if that matters. But glad to hear it worked for you, I'll take another look, as I was excited to play with it.
You’re not wrong, with a lot of Mac apps (this one included) you need the latest version to use it with the latest macOS release.

When there’s a new mandatory paid upgrade every couple years then it’s not far from a subscription service.

The situation seems worse on Mac where software has much shorter lifespans without new releases. On Windows I’m still using some engineering software I bought over a decade ago and it’s like nothing ever changed.
There is no credible information that is true.
Well the EU smokes more than the US so it's also just a bigger problem there.
Yeah, that sorta already exists. If you've ever done remote customer support, they can send a query to remotely-view your screen -- a query which you have to accept or deny. There's really zero reason there couldn't be a similar feature, but without asking you, and without putting a big red bar a the top of your screen that says "Apple Support is viewing your screen". Wish I had a screenshot or photo of that, can't seem to find a screenshot online unfortunately.
Seems to me you’ve perfectly illustrated my point.

“The most extreme people go to planning meetings and successfully overrule several aligned interests against them, but no we don’t need a broader coalition.”

You don’t need to convince the people at the planning meetings. You need to convince the people who are not at the planning meetings.

Anyway, excellent work over the last two decades, I guess.
This is the big reason he lost in such a landslide. The economy was awful. Good man, but a terrible president.
The Dell website does provide the RST drivers. For the Inspiron Laptop 16, the RST drivers are found under the driver category, not the firmware category (which is what the screenshot shows in the article). For the desktop, the driver appears under Recommended drivers.

That being said, I recently did a dual boot install (on an MSI motherboard) with Windows and Pop!_OS and the Linux install went much smoother than Windows. For Windows I had to get the RST drivers and run the setup exe in extract mode in order to get drivers that worked during initial install. And Windows also didn't even include an Ethernet driver by default.
Thank you for sharing your point of view. You have given me a glimpse into a surprising and unfamiliar way of thinking about programming. I'll have to think about this for a while.

> Trump can end the war in Ukraine by telling "President" Putin and the world that NATO will never expand to Ukraine

'President' is placed correctly, esp. with a capital 'P'. It's hard to read this part without admiring the thinking process. NATO expansion has never had anything to do with Ukraine and the war there.
I don't completely understand the maths of how this works, but no, they don't.

Here's a theoretical way I wrote in another comment:

> I think they have more efficient ways, but theoretically what you could do is apply each row in your database to this encrypted value, in such a way that the encrypted value becomes the name of the POI of the best match, or otherwise junk is appended (completely changing the encrypted value) Again, the server has not read the encrypted value, it does not know which row won out. Only the client will know when it decrypts the new value.

They do something like this, using homomorphic encryption. Whatever they do, there is no doubt they incur serious performance hits.

It's understandable that they don't have the luxury of consistency. They make deals to reduce risks. (It's usually not a great business decision to sue someone who is paying you a lot of money, even if in theory the court could order them to pay more. But how long? Also there are already lawsuits ongoing. Maybe they want to get those dropped?)

There's something you don't know that it may know and you want to see what it knows. This is like just a sentence or maybe a few both input and output. All the other talk about this model vs that model vs agents vs rag vs prompt engineering is all about practitioner worries. Keep in mind the thing is probably wrong as you would with any of them. Or that they are subliminally telling you something wrong you may accidentally repeat in front of someone at some time where it really matters and you're going to let everyone and yourself down. Which is current state of all of these things, so, if you're not building them, or are an NLP specialist working with multidisciplinary researchers on a specific goal of pushing research, then these things all have the same utility at the end of the day. Some of the most short sighted systems advice seems to just spill out of Claude unsolicited, so, whatever the big models are up to isn't entirely helpful in my opinion. Hopefully they'll be pressured to reveal their prompts and other safety measures.
I dont know whether this is true or not as I only have the mainstream media as the source. And as any objective observer knows, the media lies, distorts, misdirects, deceives, obsfucates and so on.

I think they’re referring to the forced changeover to cloud hosting and subscription services.

For years you could buy 1Password and then store your vault on your own syncing service like Dropbox. You owned the software and controlled your data. Then they switched to subscription-only and forced you to use their cloud. Really changed the nature of their software for many of us.
People will fall over themselves to attach a subscription to anything. Pure cancer if you ask me.

> The waiting for the patent to expire

That's not what the Australian government does.

Even for prescription drugs still under patent, the federal government negotiating on behalf of the whole country as a monopsony purchaser can demand (and get) much bigger discounts. (A monopoly is when a market effectively has only one seller, a monopsony is when a market effectively has only one buyer.)

Whereas, in the US, each insurer negotiates separately, so all but the very largest have weaker bargaining power than the Australian government has, simply because they don't represent as many insureds. The US has over 1000 health insurers, only the top two or three (such as UnitedHealth Group) have more insureds than the Australian government has (26 million).

Plus, even though a handful of very large US insurers such as UnitedHealth have more insureds than the Australian government does, the fact that the Australian government is a sovereign state and not just the purchaser but also the regulator and legislator gives it additional negotiating clout that such private insurers lack. Also, if UnitedHealth refuses to reach a deal with the drug manufacturer, they risk losing insurance customers to other insurers who are willing to do so; Australians can't realistically switch public health insurers (moving overseas is the only real way; private health insurance usually has very modest prescription drug benefits)

> Australia would have to start funding research.

Australia actually does have significant medical research funding. Unfortunately it seems to be a struggle to find good data on exactly how much (in easily comparable terms, such as %GDP) – the WHO's statistics [0] on this topic are missing both the US and Australia for whatever reason. But even in the absence of hard figures, I'd totally believe the US spends at least double (on a % GDP basis). But I think that's part of a broader economic problem with Australian underspending on R&D (both public and private) which goes beyond just health.

The other problem I know, is Australia has largely lost its ability to productise pharmaceutical innovations (outside of certain niche areas), which means even when some novel drug is discovered in Australia, they need to turn to to a US or European company to turn it into a product. But that's more a consequence of poor industrial policy (most of Australia's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector moved overseas, and what's left is mostly lower-end stuff like vitamins and herbal supplements, with rare exceptions such as CSL) than anything to do with drug pricing.

> then I understand that they share values in some way

Is it expected that people only ever want to see content that aligns with their views in their feed? I feel it's relatively common for someone to want to keep an eye on, say, what Trump is posting even if they detest him.

Probably becomes self-reinforcing in that by treating follows as a public endorsement, many people start following only what they want to be seen endorsing instead of what they want on their timeline. Which leaves a void for a timeline of what I want to see instead of what I want to be seen endorsing, probably currently filled (slightly awkwardly) by using an alternate account or visiting the profiles manually.

EEA gives you that, and Iceland is a member state of that too. So Iceland already enjoys this freedom.

> The real distortion is when you started having adults working in McDonalds. It was never a job to support a family - it was a minimum-wage job for kids

Nonsense: Fast-food chains never had a business model of closing during school hours! They remain open, and that shows each role has always required some adult employees with adult budgetary needs.

One can argue minimum-wage jobs are only for kids in school, or one can argue that a regular-businesses-hours company can have min-wage positions, but both together is incoherent.

For a coding setup, should I go with a Mac Mini M4 pro with 64GB of RAM? Or is it better to go with a M4 max (only available for the MBP right now, maybe in the Studio in a few months)? I'm not really interested in the 4090/3090 approach, but it is hard to make a decision on Apple hardware ATM.

I don't see prices falling much in the near term, a Mac Studio M2 Max or Ultra has been keeping its value surprisingly well as of late (mainly because of AI?). Just like 3090s/4090s are holding their value really well also.

With Stack Overflow, GitHub and others, there is a mutual understanding that contributing can benefit the contributor. What is the incentive to continue contributing if the social agreement is, you get to help define a statistical weight for the next token and nobody will know?

I think the future business model may require AI companies to pay people to contribute, or it might not be a technology roadblock, but rather a data roadblock that prevents further advancement.

The only advantage is the M4 Max's ability to have way more VRAM than a 3060 Ti. You won't find many M4 Maxes with just 8 or 16 GB of RAM, and I don't think you can do much except use really small models with a 3060 Ti.

Not arguing against 'great', but cost efficiency is questionable. for 10% you can get two used 3090. The good thing about LLMs is they are sequential and should be easily parallelized. Model can be split in several sub-models, by the number of GPUs. Then 2,3,4.. GPUs should improve performance proportionally on big batches, and make it possible to run bigger model on low end hardware.

Carter's party controlled the legislature for a half century roughly centering on his presidency; it's hard to see why his reelection would have drastically changed policy. Democratic hegemony at the time was strong enough that Republicans were said to be "in the wilderness", which I think might be the origin of that idiom with respect to national politics.

How did this set back the whole industry? Experience since then, even in France, is that reprocessing is uneconomical. Understand that Carter's executive order was rescinded by Reagan, and yet reprocessing has gone nowhere since then in the US.

You'd be surprised to learn that most Americans also do not like how Saudi Arabia treats its citizens as well.

We do not like how either of these two governments does things, but we coexist with them to the extent necessary because we share a planet. We trade with both for instance.

We are free to feel how we want, and talk about it, and its the government's job to safeguard that freedom with pragmatic and necessary relationships.
